SM Supermalls Shop and Make Art 2 was already finished. I thought my daughter wont be able to submit her artwork on time. On the last day of submission, I encouraged her to finish her entry, good thing she was able to finish everything and submitted before the cut-off time. We were able to bring her entry few minutes before the closing time. After a day i received calls but she can’t hear me well. I was thinking who the caller was and never thought it was from SM representative when i called the number back. She informed me that my daughter’s entry was chosen and will be receiving gift certificate prize.

We knew that all the entries will be displayed in the event center so my daughter and i went to SM store were we submitted her entry. So there we saw all the entries submitted but only 30 participants from Kid and 30 from Adult category were chosen to advanced to the next round which is also the final judging. Chosen entry has “congratulations”. Daughter and I were very happy when we saw her entry with “congratulations”. I’m so sorry i can’t share her entry. I used to upload images from photobucket and put it here but i cant do it now. I think they are not free already.

Anyway, we were advised to visit Admin office and we hurriedly went since we were already in the mall. My daughter received Php 500 gift certificate as her prize for advancing the final judging. The truth is win or lose it doesn’t matter, I just wanted my daughter to boost confidence and joining this contest is one way. The final judging will be held in SM City Lipa but before bringing to SM Lipa all entries will be displayed here in SM City Lucena for few more days. When the final judging comes, win or lose we will accept it wholeheartedly. And the fact that her entry was chosen to advance in the final judging and displayed here in SM City Lucena and soon to SM City Lipa until the final judging, already a big achievement.

I hope next year SM Supermalls will be doing this contest again. We just used crayons and poster painting but next time will do other ideas to enhance her artwork. Congrats my dearest daughter, believe in yourself always. You can do it, fighting!
